HP7740 printer ran out of paper and then stopped printing after refilling paper.

It is queued and shows printing on the screen but will not copy or print. The fault code B8C1ED9C came up briefly

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
First, please take out the cartridges and then unplug the power cord from the HP printer & wall.

I tried that
The updates are also current

This is not all
After unplugging, please follow the next steps:

  1. Wait for 30 seconds.
  2. Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, and ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.
  3. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

The printer will print reports from the control panel but not copy or normal printing
it says depleted cartridges need to be replaced

So, you have to replace the cartridges
Your HP Officejet Pro 7740 printer is designed to work with original HP 952 and HP 952XL ink cartridges. Only original HP F6U15AN, L0S49AN, L0S52AN, L0S55AN, F6U19AN, L0S61AN, L0S64AN, L0S67AN, N9K27AN ink cartridges can provide the results your printer was engineered to deliver
